Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is taking home a gold medal in the Paris Olympic Games, defeating China’s Yang Liu in the welterweight category after feverous attacks on her gender.
In the Friday match at the Roland Garros Stadium, Khelif came out on top five rounds to zero, to instant applause. The boxer gained notoriety when far-right conspiracy theories that Khelif was transgender circulated after she beat Italian Angela Carini in an embarrassing defeat.
